    I was refused service here after the owner flat-out accused me of possessing an illegal federally…read moreregulated SBR, which is not only wrong, but an embarrassing level of wrong for someone running a gun store for 42 "effin" years as he so confidently told me. Laughable that a person can be doing something this long and still not know what the eff they are talking about. An upper receiver is not a firearm under federal law (27 CFR § 478.12), is not serialized, and is not regulated on its own. Barrel length by itself does not magically create an SBR. An SBR determination requires a rifle with a shoulder stock and a barrel under 16 inches (26 U.S.C. § 5845(a), (c)). That determination depends entirely on the serialized lower receiver--which in my case is a legally owned and DOJ-registered semi-automatic pistol, not a rifle, and is configured to be California compliant under California Penal Code § 30515. This is basic, entry-level firearms law. Being incorrect is one thing. Being aggressively, confidently incorrect--and then doubling down when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about--is something else entirely. Instead of listening or checking the law, the owner insisted I was committing a serious federal felony and spoke to me in a hostile, unprofessional manner and cursed at me, all while in front of other patrons. Embarrassing for him to say the least. This is peak FUDD behavior: outdated knowledge, refusal to learn, and ego over facts. Shops like this don't just inconvenience customers--they actively spread misinformation that can get people in real trouble, especially in California. If you've been "in the business for 42 years" and still don't understand the difference between an upper receiver, an SBR, and a compliant AR pistol, that's not experience--that's willful ignorance. Do yourself a favor and avoid gun stores that let pride replace competence.

    As a new gun owner (I recently purchased my first handgun for home defense), I want to make sure…read moreI'm as responsible and skilled as possible in the case I need to step up to protect the people I love. I did a few days' worth of research on classes and instructors in my area and eventually decided Veterans Training Group was the best around. They offer an ample selection of classes for new gun owners like me and more advanced shooters. I enrolled in their NRA Basic Pistol course on a date that best fit my schedule. I was able to hop onto a Zoom meeting with Steven Hung shortly after I got off work and he took the time to get to know what I was looking to get from the course, what made me decide to become a gun owner, and he tailored the content to emphasize certain things that were relevant to my situation. Steven answered all the questions I had going in and all the new questions I had as we covered the materials. At the end our call, we agreed to meet at the La Puente Firing Range for the live fire portion of the course. I got the opportunity to apply the concepts from the course with my own gun. I'd been to a firing range 3 times before without any training or guidance beyond random YouTube videos I'd found and just "doing what felt right." Up until then, my untrained results had been "OK" but nothing special. This time, with Steven's instruction, guidance, and tips, I saw my accuracy improve DRAMATICALLY in just a few magazines' worth of shots and started understanding the fundamentals of shooting. I walked away from that live fire session ready to hit the range again ASAP to practice and hone the skills Steven taught me that evening. I look forward sharpening my skills as a new shooter and highly recommend Veterans Training Group to anyone who wants to develop their shooting skills. I already have my eye on their Intermediate, Advanced, and Home Defense pistol courses. If/when I decide to get a rifle, too, you bet I'll be looking at their rifle courses as well!

Upon meeting them they were welcoming, patient, and made sure they made you feel comfortable during the experience. You can tell that they are dedicated to our success of training the basic foundations and practicality of handling firearms. Their professionalism also naturally creates a space for any questions or concerns that may arise. Overall they made/utilized the training experience to teach safety and protection fun as well as a team effort. They were good to us, and I'm confident that you'll be in capable and safe hands.

    As an adult, I rarely feel that genuine, unfiltered giddiness that comes from being truly excited…read moreabout something anymore; the kind of feeling you had as a kid walking into Toys "R" Us for the first time and seeing rows upon rows of toys and treasures. I am happy to report that FF Firearms brought that feeling back tenfold with the reopening of their new location. Although they had only been open in the new space for a few days, FF Firearms was already drawing a strong crowd. During my visit, there were easily more than a dozen people inside browsing, asking questions, and checking out the inventory. Their firearm selection is impressive, with a wide variety of pieces displayed throughout the store. There is something genuinely exciting about seeing so many legendary firearms lined up and ready for the right owner. I stopped by not only to check out the new location, but also to purchase an extra magazine for a firearm I already own. Even though the store was busy, one of the employees still took the time to make small talk, check in with me, and make sure I had been helped. He even apologized for the wait, despite the fact that the line length was completely understandable given how busy they were. In the short time I was there, I was genuinely impressed by the kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness of the staff. After I left, I could not stop telling my wife how excited I was to come back and purchase a firearm from them in the near future. I saw several pieces I would love to add to my collection. One thing I would note is that the store itself is on the smaller side; there were so many people waiting to be helped that the door to the outside had to be propped open to allow for adequate ventilation. Please do not relocate again, FF Firearms. Having you within walking distance is dangerous for my wallet...but excellent for my collection!

    So I want to begin by saying this is an amazing course to experience. Very thorough, detailed, and…read moreinformative. Not only are you recognized as student but you are taught to be the best. Also want to mention the Los Angeles Sheriff's department has a list of instructors who are approved in the state of California to teach. So these are the guys to learn from. These instructors are legally licensed to teach you the safety and skills to obtain a CCW certification. Shoutout to Ron, Juan, Robert, Victor, Randy, and Sebastian for being the best representation of what and how all instructors should be. Patience and professionalism at its finest! Whether you're a beginner shooter or an expert, Medic Up offers you lessons from all ranges. Ha Ranges, see what I did there? In all seriousness they are an amazing group of gentlemen who take their time to ensure you are well informed and ready for what can occur at any given scenario. Education is key so think wisely and choose the best class of instructors for your education. P.S. did I mention these are some really cool individuals? Need I say more?

    From a friend's recommendation, my Husband and I took their 16 hr initial CCW with Medic up. I felt…read morevery comfortable with every Medic up staff member that was there with their experience, expertise, and making sure we feel safe on range and learning the curriculum. Communication on where to meet, time, and transparency made it clear on where and when I need to be as a student to do what I need to do. Staff members have a very unique vibe with each other as well as talking to students, giving feedback, working with your skill level and others to ensure safety for everyone, and constructive criticism on what can be done better. Despite a malfunction on my part, they were willing to work with me to come back the next day to finish my qualifications so I can get it signed off, which I greatly appreciated. Despite the price being more on the higher side compared to other places, I think I got the knowledge and insight that was worth what I paid for (and more). I don't know what other places have on their curriculum, but I gained a lot of insights from the range and in person classes. Everyone felt encouraged to ask questions, engaged, and network. I highly recommend Medic up and would definitely like to come back for another class! Updated review was to fix grammar
